Description Henry So, Jr. 2002-09-29 22:38:28 UTC

I have both "X" and "cups" in my USE setting.  I tried to emerge cups without it
being initially installed.  The merge fails on compiling gimp-print because the
cups library could not be found.  This appears to be because the cups ebuild
rdepends on ghostscript and the ghostscript ebuild depends on gimp-print if "X"
is in the USE setting.  Of course, gimp-print tries to use cups because "cups"
is in the USE setting.

Relevant ebuild files:
/usr/portage/net-print/cups-1.1.15-r2.ebuild
/usr/portage/app-text/ghostscript/ghostscript-7.05.5.ebuild
/usr/portage/media-gfx/gimp-print/gimp-print-4.2.2.ebuild

As a workaround, I merged the older cups-1.1.14-r4.ebuild (which does not depend
on ghostscript) and then remerged cups.
